Cleaning Instructions
Your coffeemaker
U
be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is
caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the
pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the
machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The
following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft water every
80
brew cycles
Hard water every
40
brew cycles
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or
vinegar. For best.results use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to
vinegar and has no unpleasant odor.
Using Mr. Coffee Cleaner
(Read caution statement on side panel of Mr. Coffee Cleaner box before
use)
1.
Fill the decanter with 4-5 decanter cups of warm water.
2. Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into the
decanter and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon until the cleaner is
completely dissolved. This will make a clear blue solution.
3. Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.
4. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. The swivel basket
with the black filter basket in place should be closed.
5. Turn your coffeemaker on.
6. When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your coffeemaker
Off.
7. Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter, lid and
brew funnel.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 with clean water only
(no
blue
solution).
Continue to rinse out the unit until you see no remaining traces
of the Mue solution.
9.
If a normal brewing flow
rate
is not achieved,
repeat the
cleaning
steps
1-8.
10
USING VINEGAR:
1. Pour l quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker.
2. Place a filter into the black filter basket and close the swivel basket.
3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the
cof-
feemaker
on. When three cups have flowed through, turn the
cof-
feemaker off and let stand for
l/2
hour.
4. After
l/2
hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker.
5. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker
on and let
all
of the vinegar flow through.
6. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
7. To flush out all traces of vinegar,
pour a decanter full of tap water
into the coffeemaker, turn it on, and allow it all to cycle through.
8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
Decanter Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter.
Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish
stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple
steps:
1. Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.
2. Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
